Three Chelsea players running out of the box just as the Gunners are about to take. It means Arsenal's players have to follow them to keep track. Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea Matt Upson Former Arsenal defender on BBC Radio 5 Live at Emirates Stadium Cracking effort with Piero Hincapie's left foot. He tried to whip it into the far post. Robert Sanchez makes a good dive to his right-hand-side. Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea Arsenal's second corner ends with half a clearance and then a curling attempt by Piero Hincapié from the edge of the box which Robert Sánchez does ever so well to keep out. This game is finally coming to life. Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea Alex Howell BBC Sport Arsenal reporter at Emirates Stadium A fascinating way Chelsea have tried to combat the Arsenal threat from corners. Just before it was taken, three players ran from the area to stay on the halfway line. It means Arsenal have had to match them with defenders and has taken players out of the box. It's quite a clever idea. Teams in the Champions League have tried to leave more players up at half time to combat it too. Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea Not this time. Piero Hincapié appears to get on the end of it but Wesley Fofana got the final touch and it flies out for another corner. Arsenal 0-0 Chelsea Corner to Arsenal. We all know what that means, don't we?
